Docker View

A read-only view of the local Docker daemon, built on the docker CLI’s JSON output (docker ps, docker images, docker inspect, docker logs). If docker is not installed or the daemon is not running, the view shows a notice instead of the panes.

Containers are grouped under their compose project (running ones first), the detail pane shows an inspect summary for the selected container or image, and the logs pane tails the selected container (--tail 200, then --since appends every second while following). The lists refresh every 5 seconds.

Key bindings

KeyAction
j / kMove selection (detail and logs follow)
i / EnterFocus the detail pane
l (containers)Focus the logs pane
Tab / Shift+TabCycle panes: Containers → Images → Detail → Logs
j / k / Ctrl+d / Ctrl+u (detail, logs)Scroll (scrolling the logs pauses following)

/ n NSearch container / image names, or log lines
h / Esc (detail, logs)Back to the list
rRe-fetch containers, images, detail and logs

Constraints

  • Requires the docker CLI and a running daemon; otherwise the view shows a notice (press r after starting the daemon).
  • Environment variables are never displayed — the inspect summary omits them deliberately.
  • Nothing in this view starts, stops, restarts, or removes containers or images. It only runs inspecting docker subcommands.
